    The following command shows all stacks and some additional information:

    ```console
    $ docker stack ls

    ID                 SERVICES            ORCHESTRATOR
    myapp              2                   Kubernetes
    vossibility-stack  6                   Swarm
    ```

    ### Format the output (--format) {#format}

    The formatting option (`--format`) pretty-prints stacks using a Go template.

    Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

    | Placeholder     | Description        |
    |-----------------|--------------------|
    | `.Name`         | Stack name         |
    | `.Services`     | Number of services |
    | `.Orchestrator` | Orchestrator name  |
    | `.Namespace`    | Namespace          |

    When using the `--format` option, the `stack ls` command either outputs
    the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the
    `table` directive, includes column headers as well.

    The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the
    `Name` and `Services` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all stacks:

    ```console
    $ docker stack ls --format "{{.Name}}: {{.Services}}"
    web-server: 1
    web-cache: 4
    ```

    To list all stacks in JSON format, use the `json` directive:

    ```console
    $ docker stack ls --format json
    {"Name":"myapp","Namespace":"","Orchestrator":"Swarm","Services":"3"}
    ```
